Make the login UI pretty

It was a rush job and needs a makeup pass.

Any thoughts on building in some authentication and user account support?

It's fun, but I can't really use this on a production server without it ;-}

A quick and easy workaround would be to use a proxy server with auth built in.  
If I were to make such a thing, should I just setup a filter that only allows 
connection from my proxy?

Yes. You could handle auth yourself via an authenticated proxy. We released 
this demo knowing full well it shouldn't be used yet as a hosted service.

What's there is mostly a rush job and was only there so we could obtain a 
username/handle (not actually to authenticate people yet). Ill add a simple 
mechanism for setting up a global password. Any user handle so long as they 
know the global password will be able to access the instance. The password will 
be able to be passed in from the command line when you run the instance. Not 
setting a password will mean that the instance is wide open.

We would still recommend that you restrict access to the server though using 
other means.

The right way longer term though would be integration with Google accounts via 
OAuth2, and UI in the IDE for the admin to set permissions and what not 
(read/write etc..). And to also enable SSL by default.
